On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope. The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- === Mathieu Smirnov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Tokyo Department of Information Science "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14.

Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal. -- Yuki Silva "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
